Customer Review: A Work in Progress
Summary: 3 Stars

FIFA 2002 is a fundamentally different game from last year's edition. Almost all gameplay techniques that once worked (e.g., playing along the wing and crossing the ball into the penalty box) will fail. Having to completely relearn how to play the game is both fun and frustrating.

At the amateur level the game is too easy. I played a season as Ipswich Town and won every game. The next level, professional, is entirely too difficult. I finished in last place and hardly ever won. It is at this level that the problems with the game become apparent. It is extremely difficult to accurately pass the ball. Your computer teammates refuse to make intelligent runs to get open. Even pressing the Q (run) key barely helps, which is especially difficult because you also have to constantly press the W key to keep your player's speed up so that he is not stripped of the ball. Apparently the programmers want their customers to get repetitive stress injuries. This relentless key pressing is extremely tedious and robs a great deal of enjoyment from the game.

On defense your defenders are constantly beaten by their opponents and there is very little you can do about it. They insist on looking over their shoulder for the ball and will inexplicably stop for an instant allowing the opposing forward a clear chance on goal.

The interface, music, and game graphics are a step backward from previous releases. In order to have any success at the more difficult levels, you need a camera angle that allows a wide view of the pitch, which reduces the players to little ant figures.

In sum, FIFA 2002 is much more a simulation of football than the previous arcade-like editions. This is good but the game feels incomplete. The gameplay needs to be refined so that the user has both a challenge and a chance at winning without ending up in hospital with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Customer Review: I really wanted to like this game...
Summary: 1 Stars

The World Cup is on TV. The US National team is playing well, and I really wanted a good soccer game to quench my thirst for the World's game. This is not that game. I could tell you how beautiful the animations are (they are lovely). I could fill you in on how much I like the commentary (much better than Madden). I could let you know how crisp the stadiums are and how easy the management tools can be, but that would be pointless. The ugly truth is that soccer is a sport, sports are by nature quick and unforgiving, this game does its best to frustrate you by making precise control of your players impossible. The passing is, while simple, a grotesque piece of rubbish. The movements of your players are taken over by the computer while the ball is in the air, so you're constantly out of position (I still haven't figured out the logic behind this). All in all it makes a mockery of the game. FIFA 2002 for the PC is a lot like a vacuous super model...it's pretty to look at but empty inside. Not worth a dime.

Customer Review: Much fun, which is everlasting!
Summary: 5 Stars

FIFA 2002 is great! With make your own players, teams, leauges and cups, YOU'LL NEVER STOP PLAYING THIS GAME! I play it almost twice a day. While your reading this, I'll propbaly still be playing it. It has over 500 teams from abot more that 30 leauges! MLS, K-league, Elglish Premireship, Italian Leauge, You name it. I'm nine and got it for helping out. I really did'nt do much and got a game that I didn't deserve. Good price. But the coolest thing is that you can make your own players and teams. I made a team of my school with all my friends in it. Oh, it's a boy game! ENJOY!
